Ba scored the only goal of the game in the club's FA Cup quarter-final replay against the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge, and admits it was probably the best goal he has ever scored due to its difficulty and importance.

"I don't know if it was the best goal I've ever scored, but probably," he added. "It was brilliant and it was in a very important game as well which makes it even more exciting.

"It was a fantastic pass - perfect. It was great timing. When you have a pass like that it's difficult for the defender. We were very well connected, myself and Juan Mata.

"You have some days when it doesn't go for you but you have to keep believing in yourself."
